MR. SPEAKER: Presenting Petitions; Reading and Receiving Petitions; Presenting Re­ ports by Standing and Special Committees; Notices of Motion; Introduction of Bills. INTRODUCTION OF BILLS MR. SPEAKER: The Honourable Minister of Municipal Affairs. HON. JOSEPH P. BOROWSKI (Minister of Transportation) (Thompson) on behalf of the Minister of Municipal Affairs introduced Bill No. 146, an Act to amend The Municipal Act (Second Reading Friday); And Bill No. 148, The Municipal Tax Deferral Act (Recommended by His Honour the Lieutenant-Governor) (Second reading Friday). MR . SPEAKER: The Honourable Minister of Cultural Affairs. HON. ED SCHREYER (Premier) (Rossmere): I believe that the House Leader indicated last night that this bill would not be proceeded with and accordingly asked that leave be given to have it removed from the Order Paper. (Agreed) MR . SPEAKER: The Honourable Minister of Finance. MR . SCHREYER on behalf of the Minister of Finance introduced Bill No. 115, an Act to amend the Mining Royalty and Tax Act. (Recommended by His Honour the Lieutenant-Governor). MR. SPEAKER: Orders of the Day; Address for Papers. HON. SIDNEY GREEN, Q.C. (Minister of Mines and Natural Resources) (Inkster): Mr. Speaker, before the Orders of the Day are called I would like to indicate a change in govern­ ment proposal relative to Public Utilities Committee. Yesterday I had announced that the com­ mittee would meet on Friday at 9:30 and then on Saturday. I now wish to alter that to say that the Committee will meet on Saturday at 9:30 but the regular busmess of the House will be pro­ ceeded with on Friday at 9:30. So the promised sleep-in on Friday I'm afraid is not possible. MR . SPEAKER: The Honourable Member for ste. Rose. MR . GILDAS MOLGAT (ste. Rose): Mr. Speaker, I presume then that there will be three sittings on Friday, 9:30 .in the morning, 2:30 in the afternoon and 8:00 o'clock at night? MR. SPEAKER: The Honourable First Minister. MR . SCHREYER: Mr. Speaker, before Orders of the Day are called I would like to reply to a question asked yesterday by the Honourable Member for ste. Rose. He was asking about, as to whether or not invitations had been or will be sent out inviting members of the Assembly to a dinner that will be tendered by the Lieutenant-Governor for members of the Federal Cabinet. I believe that was the question. And the answer is that there are a number of activ­ ities involving members of the Assembly but the buffet dinner is not one of them. I think that answers the question. MR. MOLGAT: Mr. Speaker, if I may, I was not seeking an invitation. I was merely trying to verify whether what I read in a letter that was sent to me at home was true., because I hadn't heard about it. I presume then we are free on the evening of the 30th? STATEMENT MR. SPEAKER: The Honourable House Leader. MR . GREEN: Mr. Speaker, I think that I'd like to announce that we have received word of an Order-in-Council passed by the Federal Cabinet to this effect; His Excellency theGovernor­ General-in-Council on reommendation of the Minister of Regional Economic Expansion of the Treasury Board is pleased hereby to approve the entering into an agreement with the Govern­ ment of the Province of Manitoba in accordance with the memorandum of understanding of April 28, 1969 in the form annexed hereto between Canada and the Province of Manitoba for the construction of the Pleasant Valley Dam and Reservoir at an estimated cost of $167, OOO. 00. There has been no official notification from the government but it appears that this matter is now going to be under way. MR. SPEAKER: The Honourable Member for Roblin. MR. J. WALLY McKENZIE (Roblin): May I thank the Minister, Mr. Speaker, on behalf of those that I represent who have been waiting in anticipation for several years for this an­ nouncement. Thank you. 3246 June 25, 1970 ORAL QUESTION PERIOD MR. SPEAKER: The Honourable Member from Fort Rouge. MRS. INEZ TRUEMAN (Fcirt Rouge): Mr. Speaker, I would like to address my question to the Honourable Minister of He,alth and Social Services. I would like to ask whether he would consider a publicity campaign concerning the importance of having polio shots in view of the fact that some immigrants from other countries are not aware of the fact that the disease is endemic in Manitoba and they arrive here without protection. HON. RENE E. TOUPIN (Minister of Health and Social Development) (Springfield): Mr. Speaker, I'll take that question as notice, and I do take it into consideration. MR. SPEAKER: The Honourable Membe:r for Swan River. MR. JAMES H. BILTON (Swan River): Mr. �.I'd like to direct a question: to the Honourable Minister of Cultural Affairs. A few days ago I asked him as to when members would learn of their responsibilities throughout the Royal Visit and he said in a few days. I wonder when those few days come to an end? HON. PHll..IP PETURSSON (Minister of Cultural Affairs) (Wellington): Mr. Speaker, a few days have passed and I will have to ask the honourable member for an additional few days, which I hope will be very early in the week when I will be able to bring that information in.
